Yeah, I quit smoking too two weeks ago... So maybe other guys didn't notice, but Indio takes his joint between his middle finger and his ring finger (or how do you call it?) I've never seen anybody smoking this way, do you?

Concerning Indio being high or not, I think he's a madman 24/7, and at some points his head is ready to explode so he smokes some pot to calm himself down...

Yes, I think smoking the joint to calm down sounds reasonable. I asked the question because I was curious if the narcotic aspect was well known, or if I was barking up the wrong tree here. Glad to see that some of you share my thoughts.

As for the weird way of holding the joint, I think it is a way of hinting that this is not just tobacco, in addition, it makes the smoking seem like a ritual of sorts. Indio is not only calmed down, but he enjoys the high of the joint especially after killing. Remember how eagerly he waits for it after the first shooting, when he guns down the informer?

I don't know if it is of any value, but "indo" is Californian slang for pot. The slang word might be new, though. Or, for all I know, been lifted from this very movie....

we know who the snuff box belongs to because "that's bill carson's name on the box"-angeleyes the very snuff box tuco rip's off bill carson winds up bitting him in the ass as this is all the physical evidence angel eyes needs to know that either tuco or blondie know something he dosn't about the gold.i always flinch when angel eyes mashes tuco's fingers on the snuffbox lid.

* sorry I don't know the right word in english.In french is Chiquer and Priser

Angel and angel... He smokes on Blondie's abandoned cigar, receives another one after the visit to his brother and takes Carson's snuff.... When I was still smoking I hated those guys who never bought their own...
